Shelter Housing
In addition to the ruin 'Toppendorf', an autonomous and simple accommodation is to be designed, either in, on top of, or next to the ruin. The shelter should be able to accommodate up to 20 people.
The building is located within the ruin, without touching it at any point and partly protruding beyond it. The sunlight hitting the corrugated metal facade turns the complex into a landmark in the distance.
The interior is functional and cozy. A core made of concrete encloses the fireplace, the staircase, and a wardrobe. The concrete retains the heat from the fire and transfers it to the upper floor where the sleeping accommodations are located. The wooden framework is open and functions as a large, space-forming shelf. Through gates and windows in the facade, the building opens up when it is inhabited and completely closes itself off when it is left unoccupied. The cooking area and sanitary facilities are located outside.
